Too faithful?
I’ve never been a Sonic fan, but I thoughtSonic Superstarslooked pretty good at Geoff Fest earlier this week. It’s an old-fashioned sidescrolling platformer rendered in a 3D art style faithful to the original games, and it’s playable in co-op.
Now there’s ten minutes of gameplay footage to let you watch a couple of levels played through in nearly their entirety.
This footage is all over YouTube and I’m not sure where it originated, but here’s a GameSpot upload:

I think if you’re a Sonic fan, this is pretty reassuring, right? It certainly looks like Sonic as I remember it in Sonic 1 and 2, both of which I’ve revisited recently, from spring pads to enemy types to the style of the boss fights. All of the footage is played solo, which means there’s no sight of the co-op pals Tails, Knuckles or Amy Rose that were shown in the trailer. You do get to see a brief bit of Dr Robotnik, though.
Sonic Superstarsis due to launch this autumn on Steam and the Epic Game Store. It’ll cost £55, which honestly ought to count as Sonic yucking himself.
